Today's QFTD is Carol. What a wonderful gallery of cards you have. I chose your beautiful Christmas card to case: CL_Silver and White_Easel Card by carol_PA925 at Splitcoaststampers I made a masculine card so that is the big change. I wanted to do an easel as I love those, also.
Embossed trees, sponged the ground, sunrise, and sky. Made a frame with a deckle nestie using the negative and sponged.
Carol, I've missed seeing you on the gallery. Hope you are recovering well from your surgery.
Enjoy your reign as Queen!!!!

Oooh Ben-Benzi!! This is wonderful. Love your sponging around those trees!! Great job! Those deckle nesties are on my wish-list so you can just put a set in with the package of punchez when you finally send it to me! Super job on the easel card! RYPH

Howdy Benz. I LOVE your easel card. That's on my list of "to do" things!! I can't wait to do one. Yours looks spectacular and you even pulled off a masculine card to boot which is so difficult. I love your use of nesties and I'm with Da Dizzy, I must have those deckle nesties. They are really fantastic on masculine or rustic type cards especially!! I'll be waiting by my mailbox too!!! LOVE your sponging and scenery Benz. You really did a terrific job!! TFS!

Benzi, I've missed your gorgeous cards for much too long! Thanks for your get-well wishes.......I hope to return to stamping one day soon! You just happened to case my all-time favorite card that I've ever made, and you did a fantastic job turning it into a masculine birthday card! I love how you framed out the beautifully sponged trees with the deckled edges, and the colors and DP are perfect for a guy card! Thanks for sharing in this special day with me and have a fantastic weekend CU soon!

What a peaceful scene! Love your sponging, both on the image and on the sentiment. You chose a fantastic card to CASE, and did a spectacular job of it!
